what do you intend to get out of the system?

btw yes, love your RAM. I've not bought any performance RAM myself.

oh btw, I don't see any difference in framerate when i run my Q6600 @ 2ghz or 3.2ghz in Crysis or GoW..

at stock 2.4ghz,
average cpu usage in Crysis is 32~38%;
whereas in GoW, it is 44~48%

i dun believe in heatspreaders, surprisingly my value ram running @ 2.3v is pretty cool, i got the intel stock hsf to blow @ em anyway..

I have OCZ Performance RAM here thats works very well but this pair as I have read were designed for 32 bit OS's using 4G of RAM in 2 sockets as opposed to 4 because of cooling issues of the latter.

Here's my ram ...

i would rather haf 2 sticks instead of 4, its hard to cool em.. designed for 32-bit OS? i thought 32-bit XP couldnt recognize more than 3GB of ram?

True but Vista can with a patch ... what I meant is you cant use 4 sticks with this ram if your running Win64 or Vista Ultimate 64 you won't be running 8G.
